Swag Bucks is a search engine that awards you in the form of Swag Bucks (points that can be traded in for prizes.) You can chose from a variety of prizes including gift cards. My favorite is a $5 Amazon.com gift card. It costs 450 Swag Bucks.

You get 30 Swag Bucks for joining and can win anywhere from 20 – 50 Swag Bucks a day if you search until you win in the morning and in the evening. You usually win within your first 5 searches. They also have Swag Codes out at least 5 times a week that can be worth 10 – 30 Swag Bucks.

To sign up, go here. Your account will be credited 30 Swag Bucks just for joining!

Here is how to earn more Swag Bucks:

Search
The key is to use Swag Bucks as a replacement for your current search engine. Use it frequently. One tip is to use it to visit websites.

Browse Special Offers
You can earn bonus Swag Bucks just by browsing the special offers section every day!

Here’s how:
Look across the top of Swagbucks.com for the Ways to Earn option.
Select Special Offers from the drop down box.
Click on the blue box that says No Obligation Offers on the right side.
Scroll through these offers by clicking skip or next.
Once you get through about 3-7 offers it will alert you that you have received today’s bonus Swag Bucks.
You can do this every day!

Use the Swag Bucks Toolbar
Use the Swag Bucks toolbar everyday and you will earn at least 1 bonus Swag Buck a day! Plus there are often exclusive Swag Codes released on the toolbar.

Here’s how:
Go to Swagbucks.com and look down the menu on the left side.
Click on Toolbars at the bottom of the list.
Download and install the Toolbar.
Use it to search Swag Bucks, keep track of your earnings and more!

Complete Special OffersHere’s how:
Look across the top of Swagbucks.com for the Ways to Earn option.
Select Special Offers from the drop down box.
Browse through the Special Offers on Wall 1, Wall 2 and Wall 3. Complete any that appeal to you.
(I do not do that unless it’s free.)

Swag Codes
Swag Codes are bonus codes that you enter in the “Enter Your Swag Code” box on Swagbucks.com’s home page. When I know that there is a Swag Code out, I will post a message here on the blog.
Swag Codes can vary in value. The most I have seen is 30 Swagbucks and the least I have seen is 5. But it’s nice to earn a bonus.

Newsletter
Twice a month Swagbucks sends out a newsletter. These have a bonus Swag Code in them. To make sure you get the newsletter, you need to go to Swagbucks.com and click on Newsletter on the left side menu. It is almost the last item.

Shop through Swag Bucks
Swag Bucks offers you bonus bucks when you go through their website to do your shopping.
Just go to SwagBucks.com and click on Ways to Earn at the top. Then click on Shop and follow the instructions.

Trade In Old Electronics
Swag Bucks has a trade in program for your used electronics. Just go to SwagBucks.com and click on Ways to Earn at the top. Then click on Trade In and follow the instructions.

Submit a Poll to Swag Bucks
Swag Bucks has a weekly poll. If you submit a topic and they use it, they will reward you with bonus Swag Bucks! You will find the Polls on the left hand menu of SwagBucks.com

Follow Swag Bucks
Be sure to read their blog, and become a fan on Facebook and Twitter. They release Swag Codes on these media outlets.

Mega Swag Bucks Friday
Every Friday Swag Bucks offers a higher denomination of Swag Bucks to winners. Instead of the typical 10 – 30, you might win 50, 100 or more! Just by doing the searches you would do on a normal day!

Swag Bucks for Pictures and Videos
If you send them a picture of you with your prize or a video of you unboxing your prize, you get bonus Swag Bucks. You get 10 Swag Bucks for each prize photo and 20 swag Bucks for each video. You are limited to 5 of each type. Email it to prizephoto@swagbucks.com.

Refer your friends
Swag Bucks has an awesome referral program. Refer your friends to Swag Bucks and when they win by searching, you win the same amount! (That means if your friend searches and wins 20 Swag Bucks, you will get 20 Swag Bucks too! You only win from their searches and there is a limit of 1000 Swag Bucks per referral. After they reach 1000 Swag Bucks, you will no longer receive credit.) There is no limit to how many friends you can refer.
To find your referral link, go to Swagbucks.com and click on promote and then select Invite Friends and Earn.

And the best part… Cashing in for prizes!
My absolute favorite prize is the Amazon.com gift card. They offer 3 different denominations ($5, $25 and $50. $5 is the best value, followed by $50 and then $25). You can get 5 of each a month. You are limited to requesting 2 prizes a day.

And that is all folks! If you have any questions or you found another way to earn Swag Bucks, let me know!
